According to ScreenDaily, filmmaker John McTiernan (Die Hard) is attached to direct The 10th Victim for Morgan Creek Productions and Universal. The project is a remake of the 1960s sci-fi thriller by Elio Petri. McTiernan is revising the original script by David Klass (Walking Tall).

The long-in-development project, last set-up at Myriad Pictures, "is the story of a futuristic TV show in which men and women hunt each other down and kill each other for cash prizes and entertainment. Two star contestants are assigned to compete with each other and fall in love." ScreenDaily adds that the remake "will be set 20 years in the future."

Brendan Fraser and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos had been rumored to star but it's not certain if that's still the case.

McTiernan's credits include Predator, The Hunt for Red October and Rollerball.
